Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Desertman84 The Mighty Macs is a sports film that stars Carla Gugino as Cathy Rush, a Hall of Fame women's basketball coach who leads Immaculata College to a national championship in women's basketball during the 70's.Ellen Burstyn,Marley Shelton and David Boreanaz co-stars.It was written and directed by Tim Chambers.The screenplay is based on the incredible true story of the 1971-72 Immaculata College women's basketball team that started from obscurity and win the national championship when Cathy Rush takes a job as the head women's basketball college coach.It tells the story of their training,their struggles and their victory during their first year.Later,the school became a dynasty by winning three straight national championships from 1972 to 1974. It could be classified as generic considering that one won't find anything really refreshing in the movie.Added to that,we get to see some familiar themes and clichés like overcoming the odds,the familiar underdog story and many more.But Gugino gives an good performance that definitely would provide interest in the Mighty Macs' journey to the national victory and her journey as well as a first year coach.As for the action on the court,there is nothing really spectacular except that one would really enjoy the hard work,dedication and determination to overcome the odds they Mighty Macs are facing.Overall,it does not really fall short in entertainment especially for sports fans who love underdog stories.Definitely,a family film.

bear64-1 This is a great film!!!! Take the Family !! This was very similar to what happened in my all girls school that I attended in 1960. My whole family loved this film!! I wish there were more films like this one!! The perseverance of the girls and the Mother Superior and also especially the coach is remarkable.We were moved to tears at times. Why can't Hollywood make more movies like this??? Maybe they will wake up and make some classic movies again. We would go to the movies more often if they would make them like this one. There are some independent film makers out there maybe we will see more of these kind of movies lets hope so!! I will be watching to maybe see some change in our movies.

FatherJay Finelli The Mighty Macs is a movie that you can bring all of the family to without any worries. You get a view of Catholic Sisters that is truly humorous yet respectful. Although this is the story of Immaculata College's girls basketball team, it is the story of us all. The story of Cathy Rush and Immaculata College is something we can and should relate to - push for your dreams and you will achieve them. Those who dare to dream can make a difference in their own life and the lives of those around them. Do you believe in your dreams? Maybe the story of The Mighty Macs will inspire you to shoot for your goals. Great acting, great action, and an inspiring story with a positive message make this a win, win. Just go see it!

Ann Vanderlaan Based upon the true story of the Immaculata College women's basketball team, it is thoroughly refreshing to see a G-rated film with human actors in it. This values-oriented sports drama has the feel of an older, classic Hollywood film that emphasizes the importance of personal dreams, the will to win, and the need for shared sacrifice to achieve success.These women were at the forefront of everyday women's liberation, depending upon themselves rather than politicians or demonstrations to achieve their goals. Their combined efforts helped to put college women's athletic programs "on the map". Later achievements of individual team members in women's athletics, business, non-profit foundations and academia tell us just how special these women really are.
